Morris Albert, “Feelings”

Don’t feel bad if you don’t remember the name Morris Albert. Even while “Feelings” was ubiquitous on lite radio in the mid-’70s, the Brazilian artist behind it remained largely anonymous. (Indeed, we initially thought the song was something Carol Burnett made up for her sketch-comedy show.) Years later French composer Loulou Gasté accused Albert of borrowing heavily from his 1957 song “Pour Toi”; a judge agreed, and Gasté was awarded the lion’s share of the smash tune’s royalties.
